Female silhouettes about to jump into the sea below are a reoccurring theme in La Vie Parisienne Covers. They show an appreciation of the female form as well as, an affirmation of courage, strong will and adventure.

The shape of the woman perched at the edge of a pier or diving board, beautifully captures the moment just before she plunges into the waters below. The pose is reminiscent of Art Deco nymph car mascots or hood ornaments, displaying beauty, elegance and grace. The print design is framed by basic lines and the simple curved waves of the sea.
